The Jack Wing Society

Like former Illinois Humanities board chair Jack Wing, we believe the humanities can foster conversation about the role of business in public life, which is essential for a thriving economy and a healthy democracy.

Our business programming is supported in part by the Jack Wing Society, named in honor of our former board chair John A. “Jack” Wing, a leader in the finance industry and a tireless advocate of the humanities. Like Jack, we believe that the humanities should foster the civic conversations that are essential for a thriving economy and a healthy democracy.
